In this question, we are assumed with the task to find the atoms which is present in the periodic table, which has highest number of neutronsatomic number of an atom, gives the account of a number of protons and number of electrons present in an atom. So the number of protons and electrons ground of atoms, equal and a number of neutrons counts is found from the mass number of an atom. Mass number is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom, hence by subtracting the atomic number from mass number. We can end up with the number of neutrons present in an atom. Among all the elements present in the periodic table, the atoms, which has the highest number of neutrons, is a tie between the liver, morium and another element teasin. Both these elements have account of 1 hundhred 77 neutrons in their atoms, hence the elements which has highest number of neutrons in their atoms, livonium and tenasine. Both these elements have same number of neutrons and the atomic number of libarium and teasin us atomic number of libarium is 116 point and atomic number of 10 asine is 117 point. Hence the elements with highest number of neutrons is live. Modum and tenesine.

Number of neutrons of the elements can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number is known.

As, Number of neutrons= Mass number- Atomic number

For Tin(sn), the mass number is 119 and atomic number is 50, then

Number of neutrons= 119-50=69

For Antimony(sb), the mass number is 122 and the atomic number is 51, then

Number of neutrons=122-51=71

For Tellurium(te), the mass number is 128 and atomic number is 52,then

Number of neutrons=128-52=76

Fro Iodine(I), the mass number is 127 and the atomic number is 53, then

Number of neutrons=127-53=74

Since, the number of neutrons are large in Tellurium, therefore Tellurium have the greatest average number of neutrons.
